  Nothing pretentious about the Hide-A-Way; just good food!  I make several trips to this area each year, and their fish sandwich is always the first thing on my lunch list.  I've also enjoyed several dinners here, each one good and satisfying.  For dinner, come early and come hungry.  The place fills up quickly, but it's worth the wait.  I don't think it's possible to leave without stuffing yourself.  And, if you go here for the fish sandwich lunch, plan a late dinner, since the sandwich will hold you for a good while.

  Stopped here after a backpacking trip. Very Unassuming place, just a house with a small bar and maybe 10 tables in the dining room. Rustic and basic décor.
  
  Sunday was the dinner buffet for $12 a head. Maybe 8 entries and 5 sides, and a few extras,   but just about every one of them was beyond perfect home-style cooking. Million times better than your typical great American golden ponderosa coral buffet that might have more items, but don't come near on the quality....
  
  The baked chicken was seasoned and cooked perfectly; Kielbasa was the best I've ever eaten, beyond succulent.... Salsbury steak was prepared the right way ( I will never look at a swanson meal again),...stuffed chicken breasted was tender covered in creamy goodness.... Stuffed peppers were as g  good as grandma made. Real old style scalloped potatoes and mashed potatoes with chicken gravy. I could go on but I would probably make me crave it all and end up driving the 3 hours back
  
  There was also a salad bar,( mainly for show with the main attractions listed above)), and wide selections of deserts. I had bread pudding which was spiced perfectly with a cream dollop of cream, and a slice of peanut butter mousse cake which was better than some $10 deserts I've had at high end restaurants
  
  This was just the buffet too, regular menu looked very appealing as well. Someone ordered a burger and the portions look ginormous, so regardless you won't leave hungry.
  
  There were two or so items that were just "above average", and even if all the items were at that level it would still be a positive experience, but the majority of the items were on a whole other level for home-style cooking. If I am ever in SW NY/ NW PA again I would go out of my way.
  
  PS the map on yelp is incorrect. The address is right but it's mapped wrong. It is  not in randolph, but rather off the Steamburg exit just west of the reservoir.  Head north then Veer left and it will be on the left.

  Great food in a casual, local setting.
  
  The menu is extensive and the specials are worth checking out.  I went with a recommendation from some long-time customers - the stuffed halibut.  It's a huge piece of fish, stuffed with krab (with a k) and homemade stuffing.  And then smothered in butter.  It's delicious, but HUGE.
  
  For the side, try the twice-baked potato.  Can't go wrong with bacon and cheese.
  
  Prices are eminently reasonable.  All entrees are under $20, and will fill you up and then some.  It does get rather crowded, so if you plan on coming with a crowd, make reservations.

  My family and I stumbled across this restaurant and thought it was great! It seems the specials are definitely the way to go- great food at a great price! It can get crowded, so reservations are recommended, but worth it!
